It is commonly held that philosophers have contributed little to bioethics which had already developed to a great degree in the United States by the early 1990s. Peter Singer is one of the leaders of the practical ethics movement, and one of the most famous and influential philosophers alive. He has considered not only philosophy and ethics, which are his areas of specialisation, but also politics, economy, medical care, environment, international aid and sociobiology from his own philosophical framework following a strand of utilitarianism, and devoted himself to produce his own practical and philosophical solution about today's various problems. He also served as the first president of the Institute of International Bioethics, the chair of the Great Ape Project and an animal rights organization. Before holding many important posts, he had already inspired philosophers to participate in Bioethics in the early 1970s. The primary purpose of this article is to consider the relationship between Singer and Bioethics from the perspective of religious studies.
